In 1868, we came -Two trumpeter swans - what to doIn Chicago, and so to fameWe turned into Lincoln Park Zoo.Happy on the city's north side, Just a paddling around the pond, Could spread white wings many feet wide, And watch the city life beyond.1871, we sawThe Great Chicago Fire burn by.We just watched the whole thing in awe, Safe in water - no where to fly.
